This would generally indicate that you do not have the permissions
correct on the guestbook.pl file - it is however difficult to tell as
the URLs that you have in the pages you sent do not appear to exist.
Please can you send us the correct URL for your guestbook installation
so we can take a look. You do not need to send us all of the
guestbook.pl as we already have that and only need the configuration
section that you have changed., and a simple URL will suffice for the
other parts.

Charles,
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are doing. Can you please try
to explain what it is that you are trying to do and what problems you
are having.
Thanks,
Dave...

I appreciate the speedy and personal followup.
I will keep working on it to get the board working.

I have replied to your message on the bug tracker via your SF email
address. You are correct that using the list will get answered more
quickly, however as I explained in the other message, this is not a bug
but but a support issue and infact one which is documented in the FAQ on
our web site.

You want to use a redirect to a separate page with the text that you
want on it - you can read about the 'redirect' configuration field in
more detail in the README however essentially it boils down to you
putting something like:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.yoursite.com/thankyou.html"; />
into your HTML form, obviously you need to adjust the value to whatever
is appropriate to your site.

No, it isn't really designed to be customizable in this way - the fields
that are used are hard-coded into the program and they are individually
checked and sanitized in ways appropriate to the use they are going to
be put. You could wade into the code and change things but it would be
very easy to break something and even easier to make it insecure. We
wouldn't recommend taking this approach.
However, you might want to consider our program TFmail which, despite
the name, can be used as a highly customizable guestbook: it comes with
a sample guestbook configuration (in gb.trc) and a separate guestbook
view program (GBview.pl), you can change the templates in gb.trc to
provide for any fields that you want (although you can move the
templates into separate files as described in the README).
You can download the TFmail from:
